    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Health regarding obstetric fistula, a critical public health crisis disproportionately affecting women and girls in Kenya. In the statement, the committee should: (1) Provide the Senate with the data on the prevalence of obstetric fistula in Kenya, highlighting the regions with the highest incidence rates to showcase the magnitude of the issue. (2) Assess the current state of access to fistula treatment in Kenya, indicating whether the proposed Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) will include fistula repairs under the maternal health package. (3) Indicate the national policy guidance that the Ministry has provided the county governments for addressing obstetric fistula experienced by women in remote areas. (4) State the number of distributions of skilled surgeons capable of performing fistula repair surgeries, and the number and capacity of specialized facilities for fistula care across the country. I thank you."
